Join us Thursday, January 30, for a free CE webinar titled Advanced Validations.
Alec Saitman, PhD, C(ASCP), DABCC (CC, TC) will share his expertise as a technical director on how to engage staff in validation experiments and design validation protocols.
After this webinar, you will be able to:
- Describe the regulatory requirements when validating non-waived testing,
- Define each experiment (such as precision, accuracy, and linearity) in terms of its purpose in an assay validation,
- Determine which validation experiments need to be completed to comfortably release an assay for clinical use, and
- Design validation protocols that balance regulatory requirements along with logistical, technical, and time constraints.
This webinar is at the basic level of instruction and approved for 1.0 P.A.C.E. contact hour. MediaLab by Vastian is approved as a provider of continuing education programs in the clinical laboratory sciences by the ASCLS P.A.C.E.® Program.
